Here are some I'm aware of:

https://github.com/jquery/sizzle/issues/290

https://github.com/jashkenas/underscore/issues/2081

https://github.com/jquery/jquery/issues/2145

Webkit devs are aware of these and they have been fixed in Webkit core, but Apple doesn't provide any info about when the fixes may see the light of day.
